I have been following all the threads about ebikes etc and having looked long and hard, and ridden them I have bought the Kalkhoff Sachel Compact 2016. Now I know this is not the bike lots of you recommend, but it will fit in our garage, I can actually touch my toes on the floor when seated on it ( not usual for someone 5 foot 1 inch I can tell you) . They now have quick release on the saddle and handlebars and the battery is 17ah as well as a now standard Kalkhoff battery ( not a different shape as last year)
I will get it mid January.
Then I worried about insurance, read all the threads again, and decided to ring our Home Building and Contents Insurers Sainsbury.
For just 26 pounds extra per year my bike ( £ 2000) is insured at home, in the UK and for 60 days abroad, what a fantastic result.
Anyway, I know its not the one you would recommend Judge but it suited all the criteria I had )
